Olympics

OPPOSING VOICES. Opposition leader Kim Dae-jung proposed that South Korea and North Korea hold talks on being co-hosts for the Olympic Games opening in September in Seoul, South Korea. Kim, head of the largest opposition Party for Peace and Democracy, made the proposal at a meeting of 71 party members who were recently elected to the National Assembly in Seoul. Kim, 62, said if the issue of being co-hosts is solved, South Korea would benefit by ensuring the security of the Olympics and forcing North Korea to open its closed society, thereby promoting chances of national unification.
